A Croatian thief got more than he bargained for when he ran into a pair of karate-trained monks as he tried to rob a monastery. The 35-year-old thief had posed as a beggar looking for a place to stay at a monastery in Zagreb but instead broke into an office there and stole almost £1,500 that had been donated by locals, Vecernji List reported. But he failed to make it out of the monastery after monks Pejo Orkic, 40, and Ivan Pajtak, 51, cornered him and used karate to first fend off his attacks and then force him to the ground where they held him until police arrived. The man has been charged with attempted theft and remanded in custody.
Bruce Lee, The martial artist by which all others are measured. Jet Li is closest in my opinion. Bruce will always be The Man.
ol chuck is getting pretty old, he has to be close to 60 if not there.
But surely he's in as good of shape as he was at 20. After all he really uses the "total gym" doesn't he?
